  1. Pvt - I got 2 different messages??? Took nclex rn this morning

    Jasoninpa replied to Viictoriaann's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I too was sure that I failed the exam. Took it on Thur, June 20. Had all 265 questions and took over 4 hours. I even know for sure that I got the last question wrong (some people have said that if you...

  2. Validity of Pearson VUE Trick...

    Jasoninpa replied to sunshinebear336's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, it works!!!!. I also did all 265 questions on Thur, June 20. Thought for sure I failed. Even know for a fact I got the last question wrong. When I got home, I did the PVT and got the good popup....

  3. Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    Jasoninpa replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone. I got my ATT on Wed, June 19. Took a leap and scheduled the exam the very next day-- Thur, June 20. Let me tell you, I was a nervous wreck; couldn't sleep the whole night, had not...

  4. CCAC Spring 2013

    Jasoninpa replied to despirate2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Get a job as a nursing assistant or PCT. The hospital atmosphere and the whole culture and pacing of it will become like second nature. As far as hospital-based programs having better clinical...

  5. CCAC Spring 2013

    Jasoninpa replied to despirate2013's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi everyone. Don't put too much stock into the claim by a lot of people on these boards that every semester they reject hundreds of applicants with high gpas. I'm going into my last semester of the...

  6. CCAC 202?

    Jasoninpa replied to tokidoki7's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    outside the nursing office door in the 204 posting

  7. St. Margarets Nursing School

    Jasoninpa replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm going into my third semester at CCAC starting next month. Don't believe the hype you hear on these message boards about getting into programs...it is mostly B.S. Yes, you definitely have a chance...

  8. CCAC questions- need answers from all campuses.

    Jasoninpa replied to neverbethesame's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It depends on what course it is that you need completed. If it is just a coreq or prereq such as English 101 or A and P II or Micro, you can take those at any campuses. BUT, all campuses should be...

  9. St. Margarets Nursing School

    Jasoninpa replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    For those of you who are stressed/hesitant about CCAC due to the Pax: they are no longer using it for admissions, starting with the Fall '12 entering class. You need a 2.8 gpa. As far as St....

  10. CCAC 202?

    Jasoninpa replied to tokidoki7's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in the 102 program, and we just finished the OB portion of the lectures. The people who say the program gets harder and harder, and more and more is required of you as you progress through the...

  11. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Lauren, thanks for offering to give information. I haven't heard anything about them bringing back the NET. I suppose by them saying the PAX is "discriminatory" to international students, it is...

  12. New Grads and Clinical Hours

    Jasoninpa replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the hours requirements for nursing students is in Pa, or how many hours CCAC's program includes officially. But, doing the math, it actually quite a few hours. 8hours/week x 16 weeks...

  13. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that instructors who allow students to be slackers are good. A teacher can be great without being a drill sergeant. When the instructor makes clinicals about...

  14. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sewnmom, I heard the head of the nursing dpt at Allegheny campus say something about they needed to keep their Nclex pass rate above 85% or so. That is a threshold that apparently the state looks at...

  15. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You're right, Amy. And the point about the test being "hard" is beside the point, because you are not scored based on the percentage of questions you get correct; you are scored based on HOW YOU DO IN...

  16. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Heck, they might as well just eliminate the drug calc test too...and while we're at it, the NCLEX too. The fact is, they are already short on clinical instructors. I guess I'm preaching to the choir....

  17. CCAC Nursing Program?

    Jasoninpa replied to Glowstix's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor going around that CCAC is going to drop the PAX requirement? Apparently some people think that being able to score at an average level (50th percentile)...

  18. Ccac fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to PittRN24's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi, I just checked the CCAC Bookstore website, and they aren't showing us the books for NRN101. It is only showing SII classes, so I'm not sure. I don't remember the book lists being different from...

  19. Ccac fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to PittRN24's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Orientation for 101 was a couple hours last semester. She goes over syllabus, guidelines, rules, attendance policy, etc. And then we watched tapes on nursing skills. For the ltc rotation, you're...

  20. CCAC Fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to emilyjoy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't know anything about them having an Nclex book. In 101, we had ATI testing books-- they are provided by the school as part of tuition/fee charges a few weeks into the program. You take a test...

  21. CCAC Fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to emilyjoy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi, The only book I got beforehand was the Fundamentals of Nursing. This was the one book that the lady registering me from the nursing department had really said was the most important. She said the...

  22. CCAC Fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to emilyjoy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Sewnmom, I never used the Skills Assessment book at all; in fact, I never even bought it. To be honest, I hardly even used the Nursing Fundamentals Book either (I rented mine-- which reminds me, I...

  23. CCAC Fall 2011

    Jasoninpa replied to emilyjoy's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! I just completed NRN101, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I'll try to answer. BTW: The main books you REALLY need, I would say, are a...

    Jasoninpa replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, it's true. The instructors so far seem to be respectful, helpful and competent
